Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) is a high-growth AI infrastructure provider with a clear path to profitability and a strong competitive advantage. The company was founded by Volozh, who previously led Yandex, to carve out Yandex’s non-Russian operations. He had to flee Russia because he opposed President Putin. The company went public late last year, raising $700 million from NVDA and a partnership that provides access and discounts to NVDA chips. Revenues are said to be on track to reach $750 million to $1 billion ARR by 2025. This is due to aggressive capacity expansion with plans to build hundreds of megawatts of data centers in 2025, expanding GPU capacity from 20,000 to 240,000 by 2027, and discounted pricing (approximately $20,000 per unit) and energy-efficient operations (PUE 1.13 in Finland).
